The Shopaholic has been spending a lot of time at home lately – this fall weather makes you want to do that.  The weather is crisp and the tv shows are new so there’s no real reason to go anywhere.  When I’m at home, I want to be warm and cozy.  Even when I get home from work, I immediately change into leggings and a sweater.  Cozy doesn’t necessarily mean frumpy though, so it’s important to look chic even on Sundays – you never know what might come up!  So when Kaylea, from Syracuse, asked for some suggestions of cozy but cute sweaters, it made perfect sense to answer her right away!  The fact is that everywhere is stocked with sweaters right now – it’s hard to narrow it down to just five or so!  I’ve posted some of my favorites that are perfect for household errands (with leggings) or a day at the office (with black pants or denim).

Clockwise (from left): Salty Cable Trim Sweater ($128), Kenneth Cole Foldback Sweater (sale $54), Ann Taylor Cowl Neck Button Sweater ($98, buy one get one 50% all sweaters), Victoria’s Secret Boucle Bomber Sweater (sale $49), and Anthropologie Konnichiwa Sweater ($128).

I’m sure that my situation is unique, but during the summer I don’t dress up for work.  I work with college students and when they aren’t around, I’m usually in jeans.  The students will be back in just 3 weeks…ahh, am I ready??  Well, I’m always ready, but is my wardrobe?  Time to pick up some new black pants and dressy tops – my go to places are always Ann Taylor Loft and Ann Taylor when I have a coupon.  Starting this Tuesday, Ann Taylor has their ‘Friends & Family Sale’ which is 30% off everything, plus free shipping online!  Simply use the code “FRIENDS” at checkout and you can watch your shopping cart get a whole lot cheaper!  Some of my favorite new arrivals are below.

If you’re like me, you’d much rather be in jeans - but if you have to dress up, why not buy something cute and feel good about looking professional?  Enjoy the discount!
